Negatory, it still has a few weeks.
The Cake is a Liar was on the charts for 97 weeks. Unfortunately though the new stats tracking was put in place after The Cake had been reckoned, and did not take The Cake into consideration.

Does not really matter, in 3 weeks Nevermore will officially take the slot, and it will be a moot point.

I saw this shirt when a friend purchased it, and I have to say I was disappointed. It seems there is a much higher contrast ratio on my computer than on the actual shirt. The bird is hard to make out and the words are too. I liked the concept, but not the shirt, once I saw it in person.

I think I need to go on a Woot diet . . . it's unbelievable all the junk they get me to buy!

You can Woot! if you want to, you can leave Amazon behind, because if you don't buy the Woot! from the real Woot!, then you're, no friend of mine. Say we can Woot!, we can Woot!, they're doing it from home to home.

Also, this shirt sold out on its first day, back when woot only printed 1,000 for first-day sales.

edit- I see your point; that equation didn't factor for first day sales not contributing $2 a sale. However, the number isn't too far off.

When I did the math it was close to what others had gotten, the $38k, and if you look how many shirts have been sold now:
20455-1000=19,455
19455*2=38,910
38,910+1,000=39,910

So, I am guessing that is the right math? If they do cell 1,000 shirts the first day, and you receive $1,000 for winning the first winning...

But, you know--it really isn't my business.

I really don't mind. I was just a tad upset when I got the shirt because, I don't know if it is just the shirt I received or if all of them, but unless you are really close you can not read the print. And being short with a large chest, people having to get pretty close to me to read it is rather, well... uncomfortable.

What in the heck is going on?

Doesn't anyone seek this out anymore.

I mean if the text wrap happened alone, ok, but the text wrap and the back to the future doctor who thing.

I mean come on. If I find more, I will contact Andy Weir myself.

The derby Nevermore won was "Text as art" go here you can see that what it was about, and all of the other shirts that were submitted. Text as art is not a new thing.

As far as the "It came out of no where shirt," I really think it might have been a coincidence. I don't believe it was submitted to a derby--and was submitted just for judging and was selected so there was no way for anyone wooters to say anything about it. I do see the close connection, and if it bothers you, you can contacted woot.

But really... "Nevermore" is nothing new.

(And maybe I am horribly, but I have never heard of Casey and Andy... don't hate me!)

I finally broke down and bought one of these. It's a cool shirt, but not something I'd normally buy. But now it's totally a Woot icon. I remember when we were so disappointed in the Cake not making it to 100. This one made it and is still going strong!

I've wanted to get this shirt since it came out but was wary because of the comments. I just received mine yesterday and I love it. The text shows up just fine, but I could see it fading after being washed after a while. I am going to be careful when I wash it and hopefuly it will be around for a long time.

i bought this when it was offered a couple years ago. You cannot read the words or see the design, it is so close to the shade of the tee. Big disappointment; i still love the idea, if not the way it was executed.
